[quote=urbanrealtor][quote=Jazzman]Seems a little harsh on what is after all the cradle of Western civilization. But I’ll grant you some Germans may be a little miffed. It’s a wonderful country and people, but much of southern Europe places different emphases on living, and tax dodging is national pastime. Often, the higher the taxes the more the dodging which feeds back into itself …at least that is what it seems.[/quote]

Dude.
Baghdad is pretty close to the location of the first cities and agricultural development.

It is considered the cradle of all civilization and was the land the Jews wandered from.

That didn’t count for shit when they tried to annex Kuwait.

We bombed the bejesus out of them and then went back 12 years later and ruined the country just for good measure.

Now we’re leaving.

If anything Greece is getting off lucky.[/quote]
Dude, Greece isn’t Iraq which isn’t Mesopotamia and what have the Jews got to do with it LOL. Yes, they are lucky and probably couldn’t give a rat’s ass what some blogger thinks in San Diego.
